Never realised people were competing with me: Bobby Deol

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Bobby Deol says a lack of ambition and a “normal” approach about his status as a star worked against him but he is fully invested in his career now. The 49-year-old actor, who made his debut opposite Twinkle Khanna in the 1995 blockbuster “Barsaat”, says had he paid more attention, it would have helped him focus on his work in the industry.

He delivered hits such as “Gupt: The Hidden Truth”, “Soldier”, “Ajnabee”, “Humraaz” among others. Son of Dharmendra and brother of Sunny Deol, Bobby was the blue-eyed boy in the 1990s.”I wish I knew that I had reached the level up with two-three movies but I never realised that. I never understood that I had reached a certain level of stardom. I was very normal about it. I wish I had noticed it.

“Maybe that would have made me focus about not losing it. I should have been more attentive towards it,” Bobby told in an interview. He says he never cared much about competition with his colleagues in the industry and admits losing out on work primarily because of his approach.
